We performed a comparison between ControlUp and DX Spectrum based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two IT Infrastructure Monitoring solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It shows you so many details of what's going on in that log-on that, if there's a problem, you can identify it in five minutes."
"Integration with Netscaler and Scoutbees can provide a proper end-to-end analysis of the user's experience and give us a real ROI."
"When using ControlUp, the core feature that we have found valuable is its UI. It is a valuable tool to view the analysis reactions of a base core Level 2 or Level 1 team so that they can complete the necessary troubleshooting."
"Security, uptime, and reduced capital expenditures are the main reasons we use ControlUp. So basically, the money that we consume is based on the amount of time we are using a service."
"It has a great career time monitoring tool."
"The script-based actions have allowed us to extend the core reporting capabilities."
"The most valuable features in ControlUp are endpoint monitoring and the many features that are available."
"The most valuable feature is the granularity of visibility into the resources that are in use by our applications."
"Stability has been good. We really have not had any issues."
"Discovery: Scheduled, on-demand, synchronized with eHealth."
"We were able to standardize the internal processes across all internal departments, resulting in almost an elimination of non-standard process flows through our organization."
"The most valuable features of DX Spectrum are the comprehensive alerts."
"It's a good tool. It's simple to do the configuration."
"The most valuable feature is the event correlation mechanism."
"As the kind of enterprise that straddles the line between telco size and enterprise size, it scales for us, because we're not all the way at telco yet."
"Spectrum is very useful for us, because the product lets us monitor and control all the various components of our infrastructure that support our business from an IT perspective."
"It can be improved by including script-based scheduling."
"The most common complaint that I have heard, at least within our organization, is about reporting. They have their own reporting. It's just that it doesn't yet include everything that you can look at within the application. You can only report on specific metrics or collections."
"ControlUp could improve the integration. Microsoft Azure Virtual Desktop monitoring has better integration."
"The graphical user interface needs to be improved from version to version."
"Something I would love to see from a partner perspective would be maybe a way to do this in a surface hosting provider."
"Solve is a quick and intuitive tool for quickly mapping data together, however, once you have the view of the data that you like, it is difficult to share this with colleagues."
"This solution be improved by including load throttling tools. For example, I can identify a service where we spend a lot of CPU but I cannot restrict the service from ControlUp. I have to use another tool like AppSense."
"We'd like to see the mobile app working again so that we can get alerts 24/7. This is especially useful for the person on call."
"For us, the implementation was quite complex but it's because of the large number of different environments we're dealing with."
"The solution could improve by allowing the ability to monitor the network shortly after installing the software and adding an auto-discovery function."
"Make it easier to certify devices."
"I would suggest improving the web GUI to improve the device monitor configuration and to improve or to integrate the new tool for reporting."
"I would like to see better scalability, and maybe, a more intuitive user interface. "
"We have had some issues with the spec server and the high availability replication of data. It fails over well, but it does not come back very well. We get duplicated events."
"OS monitoring needs to be better developed, as well as their services, e.g., cluster monitoring, URLs, etc."
"The platform is complicated to use."
